I graduated from Naropa University's Somatic Counseling Psychology Masters Program and am currently working at the Addictions Recovery Center, Intensive Services through Boulder County Public Health.

I have worked with individuals struggling with Trauma, Addictive and Compulsive behaviors with food, alcohol, and/or drugs, as well as Depression, Relationship Issues, Domestic Violence, Anxiety, and Life Transitions.

I tailor my therapeutic approach to use your strengths and work collaboratively to reach your goals, as well as challenge you to evaluate whether your behavior is congruent to your own values/goals.

I utilize several effective therapeutic approach's such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,and Solution Focused Therapy as well as having my clients practicing mindfulness and meditation outside of the therapy room.

I offer a Free Consultation for us to meet and a Sliding Fee Scale.

I am an expert at helping people change negative emotions, ineffective behaviors,and negative thoughts that interfere with making necessary changes to promote mental and physical wellbeing. My niche is helping people who have been diagnosed with Celiac disease, food allergies, sensitivities, and/or intolerances with the social, emotional, and behavioral aspects of changing their entire lifestyle around food. As a person living with Celiac disease, I understand that changing your diet requires much more than knowing what to eat and what to avoid. I help people look beyond food to help manage social anxiety and to learn effective communication skills for getting their needs met in relationships, at restaurants, and in a variety of other settings. I also help people to grieve the loss of once loved foods in order to increase acceptance.
